About Shandria

Shandria Woodall is a licensed mental health counselor who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. She also helps with parenting stress, self-esteem, anger, career changes, ADHD, and issues connected to adoption and foster care. Shandria brings a calm, practical style and aims to make the work feel manageable from the first visit.

She focuses on building rapport quickly and offering steady support. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to what feels most helpful to each person. Shandria draws on techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and try small, doable changes.

Mindfulness practices and client-centered listening are woven into sessions to help clients notice thoughts and feelings without judgment. Motivational Interviewing may be used to clarify what matters most and to strengthen commitment to change. The therapist adapts methods to the problem, whether that is grief, family-of-origin wounds, or adjusting after adoption or foster care experiences.

Shandria holds LMHC and LPC credentials and has seven years of experience in mental health settings. Her background includes work in schools, child-welfare contexts, non-profit organizations, and private practice in Florida. She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for busy people.

People who choose to work with her can expect a mix of listening, feedback, skill-building, and concrete steps to move forward. She encourages clients to set small goals and track progress between visits.

Approaches that guide online work and sessions

Client-Centered Therapy is built around listening and following the client’s lead. The therapist offers empathic reflection and adaptive responses so people feel heard and understood, which helps when exploring family-of-origin issues or parenting stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns that get in the way. It uses clear exercises and short experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and ADHD-related challenges.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple exercises to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without judgment. These practices help manage stress and improve emotional regulation during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try out methods, and adjust plans based on what feels useful. Clients help decide which techniques to keep using as they see what works for them.

Confirm available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing appointments during breaks. It also lets people choose shorter check-ins or longer sessions depending on current needs and schedules.
